A system for capturing and exhausting contaminants from the air at the point where the contaminants are produced (for example, during welding, grinding, or similar operations). 4, record 1, English, - local%20ventilation
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Local exhaust ventilation is the removal of contaminated air directly at its source. This type of ventilation can help reduce worker exposure to airborne materials more effectively than general ventilation. This is because it does not allow the material to enter the work environment. It is usually recommended for hazardous airborne materials. [See also Mechanical Ventilation and Ventilation.] 5, record 1, English, - local%20ventilation

Ventilation par aspiration à la source. Cette forme de ventilation consiste à éliminer l'air contaminé directement à la source. Cette méthode peut aider à réduire l'exposition du travailleur plus efficacement que la ventilation générale, car elle empêche l'air contaminé d'entrer dans l'atmosphère de la zone de travail. On la recommande habituellement pour les substances dangereuses en suspension dans l'air.
